What’s Included in Your Off-Plan Apartment?

Furnishing & Fit-Out

• Do off-plan apartments come fully fitted and furnished?

  Most off-plan apartments in Dubai come fitted but not furnished. This means essentials like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and built-in wardrobes are included, while furniture, appliances, and decor are typically not.

• What’s the difference between a fitted and unfitted off-plan unit?

  • Fitted: Includes kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, flooring, built-in wardrobes, lighting, etc.
  • Unfitted (or shell & core): A bare unit requiring full interior work by the buyer after handover.

  Always check the specifications in the SPA (Sales Purchase Agreement) before booking.

• Are there any off-plan projects in Dubai offering fully furnished units?

  Yes, some premium off-plan developments by brands like DAMAC, Emaar, and Sobha offer fully furnished units, especially in serviced apartments or branded residences.

• Can I request the developer to furnish my off-plan apartment?

  Some developers offer customization packages or allow add-on furnishing options at an additional cost, usually during early construction stages. You can inquire about this before signing the SPA.

• Does a furnished off-plan apartment cost significantly more?

  Yes, fully furnished units usually come at a premium price, covering furniture, design, and convenience. However, it can be cost-effective for investors looking to rent out immediately post-handover, especially in the short-term rental market.
